ElsBeth is a good witch. At least she always tries to be. Her purpose is to protect the natural world. Her friends don't know she's a witch. Grandmother says they'd probably not understand. But they are super friends, except for that annoying Robert Hillman-Jones. But that's part of the story ...
We LOVE educators and appreciate all they do.

Adventures of science, magic and, of course, pure fun for Middle Grade readers.
These are award winning books with a positive message for ages 7-12.
In Book I, ElsBeth and her friends have to face off against dangerous outsiders and a notorious pirate to restore the balance of past and present, good and evil.
In Book II, ElsBeth and her friends go on a field trip to the Boston Freedom Trail. There they meet a freedom-fighting pirate ghost. In the rescue attempt of a kidnapped student, they all travel across the waters to Nantucket Island where they find a real-life lesson in fighting for freedom and something bigger than themselves.
In Book III ElsBeth is called across the sea to the Scottish Highlands by three ancient ghosts of her clan when their ancestral lands are threatened. She must begin in earnest her calling to protect the natural world -- while unearthing older, odder family mysteries than she could ever dream and keeping her equally adventures classmates alive and safe.
The author of the book series is J Bean Palmer. Christopher Palmer, a published poet in his own right, adds the poetry, and co-authored Book III in the series. J Bean has her own purpose to protect the environment. With a degree in Environmental Science, she admits to being a science geek but she also LOVES adventure.
The books can be purchased as paperbacks or ebooks with major online retailers such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
Or you can order at your favorite local bookstore! Always a good choice for those of you who like holding a book in your hand and supporting local business. (I'm one of those.)
